Sec. 64.605  State certification.

    (a) State documentation. Any state, through its office of the 
governor or other delegated executive office empowered to provide TRS, 
desiring to establish a state program under this section shall submit, 
not later than October 1, 1992, documentation to the Commission 
addressed to the Federal Communications Commission, Chief, Common 
Carrier Bureau, TRS Certification Program, Washington, DC 20554, and 
captioned ``TRS State Certification Application.'' All documentation 
shall be submitted in narrative form, shall clearly describe the state 
program for implementing intrastate TRS, and the procedures and remedies 
for enforcing any requirements imposed by the state program. The 
Commission shall give public notice of states filing for certification 
including notification in the Federal Register.
    (b) Requirements for certification. After review of state 
documentation, the Commission shall certify, by letter, or order, the 
state program if the Commission determines that the state certification 
documentation:
    (1) Establishes that the state program meets or exceeds all 
operational, technical, and functional minimum standards contained in 
Sec. 64.604;
    (2) Establishes that the state program makes available adequate 
procedures and remedies for enforcing the requirements of the state 
program; and
    (3) Where a state program exceeds the mandatory minimum standards 
contained in Sec. 64.604, the state establishes that its program in no 
way conflicts with federal law.
    (c) Certification period. State certification shall remain in effect 
for five years. One year prior to expiration of certification, a state 
may apply for renewal of its certification by filing documentation as 
prescribed by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
    (d) Method of funding. Except as provided in Sec. 64.604, the 
Commission shall not refuse to certify a state program based solely on 
the method such state will implement for funding intrastate TRS, but 
funding mechanisms, if labeled, shall be labeled in a manner that 
promote national understanding of TRS and do not offend the public.
    (e) Suspension or revocation of certification. The Commission may 
suspend or revoke such certification if, after notice and opportunity 
for hearing, the Commission determines that such certification is no 
longer warranted. In a state whose program has been suspended or 
revoked, the Commission shall take such steps as may be necessary, 
consistent with this subpart, to ensure continuity of TRS.
